Hi guys, I am in Volcano plan now, with like 10 trainings done. Got cold on Saturday and have not been training since. What is the best approach to get back when I feel better? Start Volcano againg as it is relatively short plan? thanks Lukas

Sure - you could definitely repeat if you want continuity while you are doing the plan. I have done that due to illness or a mechanical.

However, if you want to pick up where you left off you can also delete the plan on the calendar - all completed workouts will remain. When you are ready to restart select when you want to **end** rather than start the plan. Pick you end date based on where you want to restart within the plan. Hope that helps!

Hi @lukas77, If you have rested and recovered, you should be okay to start back where you left off. Of course with the disclaimer: Make sure that you are rested and recovered before you jump back in!

Hey Cody, thanks for your reply. The thing is - my last training was Friday, Saturday the sickness started and I am still feeling bad. I think I can write off full this week, which made me thinking whether it would not be better to start over. Thanks!

PS I love Sufferfest. I tried it all - Zwift, Trainer road, Rouvy, but Sufferfest is a match for me.

Hey @lukas77,  
Sorry to hear about the illness sidelining you, I hope you feel better soon!

I think it’s safe to pick up where you left off if you’re able to get going again within 5 days.

If you’re off for 7-9 days, I’d take a few days to build back in- maybe start with Recharger on Day 1, then take a day off if you feel necessary, but you should be able to move on with Cadence builds, igniter or primers the next day, then either a day off or get back onto your plan where you left off.

If you’re really sick and down for more than 10 days, then you might want to re-start the plan, or just a little more time to build into where you left off.

Does that make sense? For me personally, it’s very hard to jump back into high-intensity training after being off the bike for more than a week. Give this a try and let me know how it goes!
